Chapter 2 Downhill
Minghui was sitting under the eaves to make needles and threads. Mingge walked over and sat on the small stool beside Minghui, holding his chin to look at Senior Sister Minghui who was seriously making clothes for him. Mingge's eyes were sore, and he couldn't see Senior Sister Minghui after going down the mountain.
Minghui finished the last few needles in her hand, tied the knot and bit off the thread. When she looked up, she saw a young junior sister who was crying and raining.
Minghui was startled: "What's wrong, what's wrong? Why are you crying? Did the master scold you?" Minghui threw the needle and thread in her hand back into the needle and thread basket, reached out to touch Mingge's head to comfort her.
Minghui's comfort did not stop Mingge from crying, but instead made Mingge pounce on her and hugged her and cried more and more uncontrollable, as if she was "water flooded with gold mountains", as if she didn't have to go down the mountain like this!
"Senior sister, the master doesn't want me anymore. He wants to drive me down the mountain." He burped in tears, "But I don't want to go down the mountain... I don't want to... I don't want to leave you... I don't want to leave your master, I want to be with you... I burp..."
Minghui took out her handkerchief and gently wiped Mingge's face: "Little fool, what a rare opportunity this is. It is a good thing to go out and see how big the world is today, see how people at the foot of the mountain live, and experience a different life from the mountain. This is a good thing you should be happy."
"Senior sister... hiccup... have you and your senior sisters... hiccup... have you all gone down the mountain?" Mingge raised his head and leaned into Minghui's arms and asked while hiccupping. Anyway, since she remembered, she rarely saw senior brothers and sisters going down the mountain.
Minghui hugged Mingge and hugged her in her arms, and said to Mingge in a soothing tone: "I have been there. Ge'er, you are only sixteen years younger than you. You have never seen the world outside. You don't care about it now and don't want to go down the mountain, but it's hard to guarantee that you won't feel regretful in the future."
Mingge didn't say anything, she just leaned on Minghui's arms and sobbed, but she listened to Minghui's words.
Minghui glanced at the little girl in her arms and continued, "The master often says 'How can we break the world if we don't go into the world?' Ge'er, everyone has a world of their own. Don't try to deliberately avoid or reject it. It is an indispensable part of your life. As long as you follow your wishes, it's fine." Minghui hugged Mingge with one hand and patted Mingge's back with the other, her eyes full of remembrance.
After listening to it, Mingge thought carefully. The master said that she asked her to go down the mountain to travel for her. Now the senior sister said the same thing, but she simply didn't want to leave! That would be great if she didn't grow up!
Mingge hugged Minghui's waist and moaned for a long time, and finally the senior brothers and sisters knew about it. One or two came to coax her and make her happy. Mingge enjoyed the treatment of being a "little baby".
Youdao said, "Hard work pays off." Mingge, whose eyes were swollen and only had a slit left, finally stopped crying. Everyone was relieved, but Mingge couldn't say a complete sentence when he burped and thrust!
"Teacher... hiccup... Senior sister, I'm hungry... hiccup... hungry." Mingge looked at Minghui with his eyes that were slit.
Minghui: "..." After a brief silence, everyone burst into laughter.
Mingge was lying on the bed in the dark, looking at the top of the tent with his eyes open. The night outside the window was dark, and the trees were shining with moonlight on the window, as if showing off their elegance to others, and as if showing their heroic posture to others.
Mingge was very confused. She didn't know whether she was going down the mountain as the master and the others said, or not going down the mountain according to her own ideas. She neither wanted to disappoint the master and the others, but she didn't want to leave everyone. She didn't think that going down the mountain would be of great help to her. If it was really that good at the foot of the mountain, why would so many people want to come to Kunwu Mountain at the foot of the mountain?
Mingge also knew that she was acting like a scoundrel today, but that was because she was afraid! She was afraid that she would come back after she left, and whether all this would remain the same as when she left.
However, what Mingge is most afraid of is not that. What she is most afraid of is what she should do after she really has the ties she said after going down the mountain? How will she come back then!
Because Mingge knew in her heart that what can be called a bond must be not simple! Since it is not simple, it is not easy to cut it off. Mingge considered himself not a saint!
Mingge also knew that going down the mountain was a foregone conclusion, but she didn't want to go down the mountain just like this. She just wanted to be loved by everyone so that she could feel that she was not redundant to others! She thought that only the excess would be discarded!
Now that the master wants her to go down the mountain, she is both afraid and confused, afraid that she will be abandoned again! She is afraid that one day the master, uncle, senior brother and sister will forget her! She will never love her like she is now!
………
Time is like the quicksand that cannot be grasped, and it is the day when Mingge goes down the mountain in a flash.
Even though he didn't want to go down the mountain, Mingge still chose to face it with a strong attitude. After all these days, Mingge changed his mindset.
This time, Mingge changed into a blue cotton cloth dress specially prepared by Senior Sister Minghui for her, tied up some of her hair behind her head, and was not too old to tell whether she was male or female!
Mingge carried the bag that Minghui packed for her, wrapped around his waist the soft sword given to her by his master Xun Zhenzi, and also held the sword she used on her usual daily life. Mingge kowtowed three times to her master Xun Zhenzi and her uncles, and then saluted to her senior brothers and sisters. Then he turned around and resolutely followed the eldest brother Mingran to the mountain.
Although her mentality has changed, Mingge is still reluctant and confused at this moment, just to prevent everyone from worrying. Mingge left very firmly, and she forced herself to appear firm.
Mingran walked beside Mingge, and he felt Mingge's state. He was willing to persuade him but knew that this was a process that Mingge must go through in his growth. Mingge could only learn to bear it and adjust it by himself. Mingran could only sigh and feel distressed in his heart, but there was no way that the child always had to fly by himself when he grew up.
Xun Zhenzi and his group stood in front of the mountain gate and looked at Mingran and Mingge's figures slowly moving away. Mingge's firm departure made everyone feel relieved. At least this child had accepted the matter of going down the mountain in his heart. After going down the mountain, she would take whatever she encountered seriously from the heart, and the danger would be smaller.
Everyone present was both proud and uncomfortable, proud of the fact that the child was going to fly by himself when he grew up! Sadly, the child was leaving home when he grew up!
Mingge was grown up when everyone watched her grow up. Everyone treated her as their own child and cultivated her. Watching her slowly grow from a pink and tender glutinous rice ball to a graceful girl. Now that the child is going to go out to explore the house, how can he not worry?
Minghui asked his master Xun Zhenzi: "Master, Ge'er's personality is too straightforward. There are all kinds of complexities in the world, and I'm very worried!"
Xun Zhenzi said: "No obstacle."
Minghui asked again: "Master, Ge'er will be back, right?"
Xun Zhenzi didn't say anything. He actually didn't know whether Ming Ge'er would come back now. The child's fortune telling was hard to describe! Good or bad luck lies in her thoughts!
